Synthesis of Nickel Nanocrystals

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ni0 NCs
were synthesized following the procedure reported by Carenco et al.16 (link) In a 25 mL flask, 1 equiv of nickel acetylacetonate
[Ni(acac)2, 95%, purchased by Sigma-Aldrich] and 10 equiv
of OLAM were mixed and degassed in a standard Schlenk line under vacuum
for 2 h at 100 °C. Afterward, the atmosphere was switched to
argon and the solution was heated up to 220 °C. The reaction
time was 2 h. Then, the solution was cooled down to room temperature.
Ni0 NCs were washed three times with a mixture of hexane
(99%, purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) and ethanol (99.9%, purchased
from Carlo Erba Reagents), each rinsing followed by centrifugation
(4500 rpm, 10 min) and discarding of the supernatant. The Ni0 NCs were dispersed in hexane for further characterizations/experiments.

Fabrication of Silk-Coated Alginate Microcarriers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Alginate microcarriers were produced according to the following procedure: briefly, a 1% w/v sodium alginate (Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy) aqueous solution was dropped into a bath of 100 mM calcium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich) water solution using an automatic encapsulator (Encapsulator VAR V1, Nisco Engineering AG, Zurich, Switzerland, 0.17-mm diameter nozzle). Bombyx mori cocoons were degummed in autoclave, dried at room temperature, and solubilized in phosphoric acid/formic acid (80:20 v/v) (Sigma-Aldrich). Fibroin solution was dialyzed against water (polyethersulfone membrane, cut off 12 kDa, Visking, London, UK), obtaining a 1.5% w/v silk fibroin aqueous solution. Alginate microcarriers coated with silk fibroin were obtained adding alginate microcarriers into silk fibroin solution for 5 min. Microcarriers were collected by filtration and immersed in 96% (v/v) ethanol (Carlo Erba Reagents, Milan, Italy) for 15 min to induce silk conformational transition. Silk/alginate microcarriers presented β-sheet fibroin conformation (verified by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), spherical geometry, and average diameter of about 400 μm in laser light scattering analyzer (Mastersizer 2000, Malvern Instruments Ldt, Worcestershire, UK).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
